Home and sleep solutions brand Wakefit recorded nearly 30% year-on-year growth during the fiscal year ending March 2025. However, its net losses doubled in the same period even as it gears up for its IPO. Wakefit’s revenue from operations rose to Rs 1,274 crore in FY25 from Rs 986 crore in FY24, according to its annual financial statements filed with the Registrar of Companies (RoC). Founded in 2016, Wakefit operates as a direct-to-consumer (D2C) brand offering sleep and home solutions, including mattresses, pillows, furniture, and home improvement products. These are sold through its website, offline stores, and third-party marketplaces. Revenue from product sales forms the company’s sole source of operating income. The firm also earned Rs 31 crore from interest on deposits and profit from the sale of investments, taking its total income to Rs 1,305 crore in FY25, up from Rs 1,017 crore in FY24. The cost of materials consumed accounted for 43% of total expenses, which increased to Rs 573 crore in FY25. Employee benefit expenses grew 23% to Rs 166 crore, while legal, advertising, IT, postage, and other overheads pushed total expenditure up 29.8% to Rs 1,340 crore. The increase in advertising, postage, and employee costs widened Wakefit’s net loss to Rs 35 crore, against Rs 15 crore in FY24. Despite this, the company remained EBITDA positive at Rs 59.5 crore during the year. Its ROCE and EBITDA margin stood at 4.67% and -5%, respectively. By the end of FY25, Wakefit’s total current assets were valued at Rs 537 crore, while it spent Rs 1.05 to earn a rupee of operating revenue.

Wakefit posts Rs 971 Cr revenue in 9M FY25; auditor raises concern over past financials

Wakefit, a brand specializing in home and sleep solutions, has submitted its Draft Red Herring Prospectus (DRHP) to the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) for an Initial Public Offering (IPO). According to the balance, Wakefit reported a revenue of Rs 971 crore for the first nine-month period of FY25, concluding on December 31, 2024. Auditors, however, raised concerns regarding the financial statements. Wakefit’s operating revenue stood at Rs 971 crore in the nine months of FY25, nearly matching the Rs 986 crore it recorded in the entire FY24. The firm’s topline was largely driven by the sale of manufactured goods, which accounted for over 97% of its operating income, standing at Rs 951 crore. Other revenue came from the sale of traded goods and other income, which pushed its total income to Rs 994 crore in the nine months of FY25. On the expense side, cost of materials was the major contributing factor, accounting for 43% of the total expense at Rs 433 crore. Employee benefits accounted for Rs 126 crore, and the firm also spent Rs 82 crore on advertising and Rs 75 crore on delivery-related expenses during the period. Other overheads, including depreciation and IT expenses, further added to the cost base. Overall, total expenses stood at Rs 1,003 crore in the nine months of FY25, as compared to Rs 1,032 crore in FY24. Wakefit reported a loss of Rs 9 crore in the nine months of FY25, as compared to a loss of Rs 15 crore in FY24. However, the company posted a positive EBITDA of Rs 76 crore, with an EBITDA margin of 7.65% in the same period. Its ROCE stood at 1.33%. On a unit level, the company spent Rs 1.03 to earn a rupee of revenue during the 9-month period and has current assets worth Rs 577 crore, including Rs 19 crore in cash and bank balances. Looking further in the DRHP, the auditors flagged issues such as mismatches between financial records and bank filings, delayed statutory payments including GST dues under dispute, absence of an internal audit system, and cash losses over the last three fiscals. In FY24, the company’s accounting software was also found lacking the mandatory audit trail feature. While these observations didn’t require changes to its reported financials, Wakefit cautioned that similar remarks in the future could impact its reputation and financial standing. The company also revealed it uses several non-GAAP financial metrics like EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, and return on capital employed to track performance. Wakefit noted these figures may not follow standard industry definitions and might not be comparable with those reported by peers. It urged investors not to rely solely on these supplemental measures and to consider audited financials under statutory accounting norms.
